Web companies of all sizes face many of the same challenges: sites must be faster, infrastructure must scale, and everything must be available to customers at all times, no matter what. Velocity is the place to obtain the crucial skills and knowledge to build successful websites that are fast, scalable, resilient, and highly available. It’s a unique opportunity to learn from your peers, exchange ideas with experts, and share best practices that will help maximize your company's efficiency, performance, and responsiveness.
